Born to Run - Chapter 501
? At 8 pm Beijing time on August 8, 2008, the 29th Olympic Games was grandly opened at the Bird’s Nest National Stadium.
The Bird’s Nest National Stadium has approximately 91,000 spectator seats. The stadium is shaped like a “nest” and cradle that nurtures life, entrusting humanity’s hope for the future. The designers did not do any extra treatment to this venue, exposing the structure to the outside, thus naturally forming the appearance of the building.
Under the night, the Bird’s Nest National Stadium is full of seats, and the 208 performers in the middle of the stadium sing and sing, forming a magnificent and solemn array, welcoming the world with the heroic singing of “If you have friends from far away, it’s a great joy” Guests and friends.
In the light reflected by the image of the ancient Chinese timepiece “sundial”, the thunderous spring swept through the array at once, resounding throughout the audience, resounding throughout the world.
A huge countdown number flashed across the entire surface, and the audience shouted the countdown together. When the time passed by the last second, countless fireworks lifted into the sky and burst into light, bright and colorful.
In the center of the Bird’s Nest, a magnificent scroll of Chinese culture slowly unfolds in the artistic atmosphere of sound and light.
…
August 15.
The more than 80,000 spectator stands of the Bird’s Nest National Stadium were already crowded with spectators who came to watch the game early in the morning.
Since the grand opening ceremony on the evening of August 8th, a week has passed. During this week, weightlifting, shooting, fencing, swimming, diving, judo, football, volleyball, basketball and other events have been carried out in an orderly manner. With.
The performance of Chinese Olympic athletes in this Olympics surpassed any other previous Olympics and won many gold, silver and bronze medals.
A week later, the Bird’s Nest National Stadium has finally begun to be officially put into use. Starting on the 15th, a total of ten days of track and field events will be held.
On the 15th, from 9 am to 12:10 noon today, among the seven track and field events to be carried out, there will be the men’s 100-meter preliminaries that have attracted worldwide attention.
“Dad, Mom, there will be Ye Chin’s race in the next meeting! For the men’s 100-meter sprint waiting for the meeting, Ye Chin will represent the country and compete with other foreigners this time!”
Sitting in the spectator stand, Ye Mingcheng was swaying with excitement. He turned his head and looked at his parents and couldn’t help but shout loudly.
“Ye Qin is coming?”
Liu Lanzhi doesn’t have a lot of good feelings about the noisy stadium. With 70 or 80 thousand people gathering in the track and field stands, everyone in the audience can converge into a huge buzzing sound even if they whisper a little.
Only when Ye Mingcheng said that Ye Qin was going to play, his eyes suddenly became bright.
Ye Guandi didn’t have much expression while sitting in the position, and even between the slight movement of his lips, he could faintly feel a trace of unnoticeable tension.
Next to the two old people, there was a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen sitting behind him, looking at the stadium with great excitement.
Hearing Ye Mingcheng’s words, he took out his cell phone to check the time, and shouted together: “Grandpa, grandma, the men’s 100 meters race starts at 9:45, and it won’t take long for Yeqin to appear on the table.”
“Yeah, Mom and Dad, after we have watched Ye Qin’s game, if you feel that you can’t sit still, we can leave first and come back tonight and tomorrow.”
Ye Mingcheng looked at the expressions of his parents, and said along with him, he somewhat knew that his mother might not be able to get used to the atmosphere of the scene.
The two elders came to Yanjing to see the capital of Yanjing on the one hand, and to watch the grandson’s game on the other. In the previous period of time, the two elders had already met Ye Qin who came out of the General Training Bureau, but Ye Qin’s time was very tight, even more nervous than he had participated in the Golden Grand Prix in Shenghai.
He can’t say anything about other things, but from Yeqin’s words, he is probably doing better pre-match preparations and physical reserves, as well as a small amount of Olympic propaganda.
The previous preparation time is already very tight. When the Olympic Games are now starting, there is no doubt that Yeqin will have no way to spare at least until the end of the track and field competition.
“Mingcheng, Su Ju, don’t worry about the two of us, you watch your game!”
Liu Lanzhi felt that the attention of her son and grandson were focused on them, she couldn’t help but reached out and touched the hair of her grandson Su Ju by his side, and said with a smile.
Although the atmosphere on the scene was noisy and enthusiastic, there was a different feeling of being in it. Although Liu Lanzhi was not particularly accustomed to and adapted to it, she had seen it at the Shenghai 80,000 Stadium before, which is not completely unacceptable.
The first track and field event started at 9 o’clock in the 100-meter hurdle in the women’s heptathlon, and then at 9:05, the qualifying competition for the men’s shot put event began.
It wasn’t until 9:45, that the atmosphere of the seven to eighty thousand spectators was officially warmed up.
The 29th Olympic athletes men’s 100m preliminaries have begun!
The entire men’s 100 meters race time is two days in total. The preliminaries will start at 9:45 am on August 15th, and the semi-finals will start at 19:45 pm on August 15th. The semi-finals will be held at 20:05 pm on August 16th, and the finals will be held at 22:30 pm on the 16th.
In the first round of the men’s 100 meters preliminaries, the total grid has ten preliminaries, and the number of contestants has reached 80.
In the preliminaries, the top three of each group will advance directly, and then the top ten athletes with the best results will be filled in. A total of 40 athletes will participate in the semifinals.
When the first group of the preliminaries started, the audience began to cheer.
The first Chinese athlete to appear in the men’s 100 meters event was Zhang Peimeng, who ranked in the seventh pass. The overall strength of the first group of the preliminaries he participated in was not particularly strong, but there was one of them. It is Youssé Bot, a foreign athlete known to many Chinese people!
The Jamaican athlete, this year in the New York Grand Prix with a time of 9.72 seconds, briefly snatched the men’s 100m world record from Yechin, which caused an uproar in the country at that time.
Fortunately, Yechin soon ran again in Ostrava, Czech Republic, with a time of 9.70 seconds and returned to the top of the world. However, for a period of time, the name Youssé-Bot appeared almost in online newspapers and television media at home and abroad, so few people did not know the athlete who was as tall as 1.96 meters.
The preliminaries of the first group started very quickly. After the gunshots rang out, Youssé Bot easily ran ahead and finally easily won the group first with a time of 10.20 seconds and advanced to the semi-finals.
The second place in the group was won by Yosé Bot’s training partner Antigua and Barbuda’s Daniel Bailey with a time of 10.24 seconds. Zhang Peimeng ranked third in the group with a time of 10.25 seconds and was directly qualified for the semifinals.
Standing in the middle of the arena, Zhang Peimeng looked at the audience cheering and applauding for him, almost instantly bursting into tears.
It is not easy for him to be able to beat the starting line of the men’s 100-meter event. Before he went on the field, he thought that he might be eliminated in the first round of the preliminaries.
But what I didn’t expect was that in the preliminaries, he played very well and basically ran out of his own level. Although he was not the best result, he still qualified for the semi-finals.
After that, Chinese track and field athlete Gu Kai made his appearance in the sixth group of the preliminary round. In the end, Gu Kai ranked fourth in the group with a time of 10.39 seconds. I have not been able to get the chance to advance directly to the semifinals, but apart from the direct advancement of the top three in each group, there are still ten places. It can not be said that there is no chance.
Group after group of men’s 100-meter preliminaries continued. After almost an hour, at 10:47, the ninth group of the men’s 100-meter preliminaries began.
When the spectators in the stadium stands saw Ye Chin in a red sprint suit standing on the starting line, the atmosphere on the scene reached the first climax since the start of the game.
In the 2007 World Championships, the men’s 100m and 200m double champion, and the men’s 100m world record holder, Ye Qin is finally on the stage in the wake of the thousands of calls!
Standing in front of the men’s 100 starting line, Ye Qin looked around, almost feeling that he was surrounded by loud noises.
It seems that at this moment, the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the audience are focused on him.
Before entering the stadium, he was still in a relatively calm mood. Almost immediately after entering the stadium, he was instantly ignited by the boiling atmosphere in the stadium.
The heart in my chest seemed to be beating frantically suddenly, and my face felt scorching hot.
There seems to be a sense of dizziness in the brain!
This is my home court!
This is the Olympics, and I am on this stage again!
It was different from 4 years ago. At that time, I was unfamiliar and hardly many people could pay attention to it.
Especially in the preliminaries, he stood on the field just like athletes from other countries. It was mediocre. Even if many people noticed that he was participating, they probably felt that there was a Chinese athlete participating in this event!
No expectations, no encouragement!
But four years later, he once again boarded the Olympic Games, he is no longer an unknown person!
The audience in the audience is watching him, the people of the whole country and even the whole world are watching him, waiting for his performance!
From the beginning of preparations for the Olympics, the tremendous pressure has been on my shoulders. At this moment, it seems to have reached the highest point.
“Ye Qin, come on!”
“Ye Qin, come on!”
“Go China!”
“Go China!”
…
In the audience, loud noises continued to sound!
When many people looked at Ye Qin, they couldn’t help shouting!
Although it was only a men’s 100-meter preliminaries, Yechin has not appeared on the field for some time after the Ostrava Grand Prix in June.
I have watched the first two men’s 100m races where Chinese athletes participated, and now the audience is eagerly looking forward to seeing Ye Qin’s performance!
Ye Qin felt that his hands and feet were trembling slightly, and sweat gurgled from his forehead. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. At this moment, he felt his body seemed a little stiff!
Especially when he heard many people calling his name, he seemed to have an unexplainable worry from the bottom of his heart.
“What if I didn’t run well?”
“What if I fail to win the championship?”
“Will you be ashamed of so many people’s support for me!”
All kinds of complicated thoughts seemed to drown him like a tide.
“Am I nervous?”
Ye Qin glanced across the stadium, pursed some dry lips, and muttered to himself in a low voice.
Since he participated in a stadium game, the word nervous has rarely appeared, even when he was warming up outside the stadium, before entering the stadium, he did not think about it.
There must be some tension in the nerves, but I feel that it is not like this. I feel my body trembles slightly, sweat is coming out of the back of my forehead, and even a sensation of heart palpitations in my heart.
He thought he had experienced enough competitions and faced various powerful opponents, so he shouldn’t have such tension again.
He has always been a big game player, people are crazy, the bigger the scene, the more he can calm down and break through himself and have a better performance.
But when standing in front of the starting line, facing the cheering and shouting of seven or eighty thousand compatriots, and the attention and support of more than one billion people, tensions inevitably arise.
This is the Olympic Games, held in my own country and capital!
It’s still the preliminaries, and in the finals, when facing those strong opponents, he doesn’t know if he can bear it!
For a moment, he even thought that if there was a muscle strain after the start, it might be a good choice to retire from the race, at least not having to bear such a huge pressure.
He felt a little timid!
His heart does not seem to be as strong as he thinks, not as calm as when he talks with others!
Even the number one in the world, in the face of such a strong pressure, it is inevitable to have the emotion of wanting to escape!
But soon, when the starter on the sidelines called out the “Onyourmarks” in-place command, Ye Qin’s brain, which was trapped in various thoughts, seemed to come back!
Almost completely without any instructions from my own brain, I walked onto the running aids together, and habitually adjusted the starting posture!
These are the body’s instinctual reactions that have been completely formed after tens of thousands of times of practice, and he can do it naturally without having to deliberately think about it!
Breathing became dense and long, Ye Qin looked up at the familiar runway, looked at the finish line in the distance, and his mind became clear!
“How could I suddenly have the idea of wanting to give up!”
He seemed to be laughing at himself silently, laughing at Yu’s thoughts that he wanted to escape at that moment, and laughing at himself for having such a cowardly mood.
But now, no matter if you want to give up or escape, there is no way out!
Step onto the starting line, then don’t worry about anything, run forward in a hurry!
This was his initial mentality when he stepped on the track in his youth. He liked the feeling of chasing the wind and running with all his strength, and it is the same now!
The race on the track is only forward, not backward!
At this time, Ye Qin knew very well that he needed to abandon distracting thoughts and don’t think about anything!
Just run!
“SET!” The prepared voice sounded from the sidelines again!
The audience has quieted down, waiting for the start of the game!
This is Yeqin’s first appearance in this Olympics, and this is his first game in the 2008 Olympics!
Everyone is watching him!
His supporters, his opponents, his family!
Snapped!
The crisp electronic starting gun sounded!
On the track and field stadium that had just gone quiet, a huge shout suddenly broke out!
After the gunfire sounded, Ye Qin started and accelerated, and all his movements were carried out in accordance with the body’s instinct!
His performance in this group may have been affected by his uneasy mentality after he suddenly entered the arena. Regardless of starting and accelerating, it is not good. Compared with his performance in many competitions, it is far worse.
But in such a situation, he will not be alone!
The Olympic venues brought tremendous pressure to the world record holder who finally hoped to win the championship, and also to many other athletes who made their debut or wanted to have a good performance, there was also tremendous pressure!
Accompanied by the familiar running rhythm, Ye Qin can’t think of other messy thoughts at this moment, and there is only the distant finish line in his sight!
In this group of men’s 100-meter races, most of Yechin’s opponents are not particularly familiar. There is only one Mark Burns from Trinidad and Tobago and Modio Kovinica from Slovenia. It’s considered to have played against each other.
In the first 30 meters, the two were able to keep up with Ye Qin’s speed, but after 30 meters, Ye Qin gradually entered a familiar rhythm.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…
Ye Qin runs more and more easily, faster and faster!
At the moment of the start, there were some stiff movements, and it was fully stretched out in the back!
In the spectator stands surrounding the stadium, the boiling shouts were even more enthusiastic!
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…
Ye Qin took the lead in the front!
The overall level of his players in this group of preliminaries was very average. Ye Chin got to the second half of the middle, and only felt that his speed was slightly increased, and he easily ran to the forefront!
Cross the line!
On the on-site timing board, on the yellow electronic numbers, the score of 10 seconds and 23 appeared in front of everyone!
After Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he stopped slowly!
In the last few tens of meters, he has started to run ~www.mtlnovel.com~ completely by inertia, but even so, he still got the first place in the group with absolute strength.
Mark Burns and Modio Covinica, the second and third place in the group, both scored 10.46 seconds, while the results of the other players all reached 10.50 seconds!
Standing at the finish line, Ye Qin put a smile on his face, stretched out his hands to express his gratitude to the audience cheering for him!
After a men’s 100-meter pre-race, he felt nothing but addictive!
It seems that he won the championship before running hard!
After the gunshots rang out in the game, those chaotic thoughts seemed to disappear after the pre-race, and disappeared at this time!
“Don’t think so much, I am a world record holder, just run!”
